8 9 10 11 12 13 Task 4. Watch Out! Study the paragraphs below. On a one-half sheet of paper crosswise, rewrite each paragraph in order to make it more cohesive. A. Forty kilometers south of Peshawar, deep inside Pakistan‘s tribal belt, lies the village of Darra Adam Khel. It‘s an area few foreigners will ever visit. They are surreptitiously waging the U.S.-led war on terror or trying to elude it. Anyone else who manages to pass through the roadblocks to enter Darra, it‘s the perfect place to release pent-up stress. The village has one industry of note: ordnance. Darra is the arms factory of the tribal areas. It pumps out everything from pistols to anti-aircraft weaponry. Wander into any of the mom-and-pop workshops. Choose your weapon. Haggle over the price of bullets or shells. Troll out with your equipment into the bush. Being rather nice to look at, the surrounding rocks and trees make for excellent target practice. You‘ve finished debarking a tree with an AK-47. You can head back to civilization a better, calmer person for this cathartic experience. Think of it as a harmless outlet for the warrior that lurks within you. (Adapted from Discharging Firearms- Darra Adam Khel, Pakistan by Jaimie Miyazaki from Time Magazine: The Best of Asia, July 4, 2005) B. After five hours of uphill struggle on the second day of the classic Himalayan trek from Paro, site of Bhutan‘s international airport, to Thimphu, the country‘s capital, your muscles will burn. The blood will pound in your ears. Your breathing will approximate that of someone with Grade 7 English Learning Package 90
advanced emphysema. When your guide urges you on, trust him. It is at about this stage that you reach the 3,810-m-high ridge above Lake Jimilangtso. The setting sun bathes the mountains in an unearthly rose, and Venus is visible against a violet sky. The sheer beauty of it strikes you dumb. On the other side of the pass, on the banks of the lake, a bonfire flickers as porters set up your camp. Within the hour, you will be wrapping your hands around a steaming mug of sweetened Bhutanese rum. You will be savoring your chef‘s startlingly fine creations. Sauteed chanterelle mushrooms with tender shoots of fiddlehead ferns gathered en route. Ema datshi (the national dish of potatoes, chilies and cheese). All you have to do as night falls is eat your fill. Crawl into your tent (which your porters have already set up for you). Zip the door shut. The next day may hold more trekking hell. As your head hits the pillow, there is no doubt in your mind: to be under the canvas in Bhutan is to discover the meaning of an exhausted, elated bliss. (Adapted from Bhutan by Aryn Baker from Time Magazine: The Best of Asia, July 4, 2005) YOUR FINAL TASK The Things I Must Fight For Just because we have the capability to fight, it doesn‘t mean that we should go around looking for trouble. There are always things worth fighting for. They are called causes. Try interviewing people, asking them which three things are worth the good fight. Once you have enough, list down the top five causes. Provide an explanation for why you need to fight for them. CAUSES WHY I MUST FIGHT FOR THEM Grade 7 English Learning Package 91
